Donald Trump for President Thread

[Whistlin' Dixie]

Rape crimes should be graded, with most severe punishments for the most severe crimes, and downscaled accordingly.

 

[rascal]

Wanting rapists to be executed is bad?

Even when found to be innocent?

 

[dholliday]

The old not-all-rapes-are-the-same argument.

I sided with Clarke then during The Guardian's hysteria and got put on permanent pre-mod for my troubles.

The world isn't black & white, there are many shades of grey, and what Julian Assange is accused of (for example) isn't of the same severity as many other forms of rape crime so (if guilty) his punishment should be graded accordingly.

Is all murder the same? Should it be?

And what does any of this have to do with Trump?

 

[Whistlin' Dixie]

Two words...

Malice aforethought.

And what does any of this have to do with Trump?

Dunno - I didn't bring the matter up.

Women allowing themselves to be groped or taken advantage of isn't a crime.

Sure wear your halo and say it's morally-reprehensible...but it's no crime.

What? Of course it's a crime if there is no consent.

You also don't need a halo to see that it's Morally reprehensible, the plethora of republicans bailing on him is evidence of that.

Sounds like an underground doom metal band.

 

[dholliday]

what makes you think there was no consent?

What? Of course it's a crime if there is no consent.

I'm not taking about a specific case here, you made a general comment which is totally false

 

[dholliday]

you're twisting yourself in knots here.

i'll ask you again: which crime has Trump committed?

 

[Ballyfermot]

Since when has a good old fashioned [Poor language removed] grab become so socially unacceptable?

It's PC gone bonkers!

 

[Zatara]

....thanks, Matey. At least never on a publicity bus with others, as Trump appeared to be on. I'm sorry but I find it very seedy and perv to hear somebody of his age talking about and visibly eyeing up young women in that manner.

Ageist...close to a hate crime there eggsy...

You should have stuck to your guns and we would have been none the wiser that you hate the elderly.

 

[dholliday]

I'm not taking about a specific case here, you made a general comment which is totally false

and which comment of mine is "totally false"?

 

[roydo]

Doesnt really matter does it?

In politics, it is the perception the electorate see, not some legal technicality.

That video portrays him as a rich, white, sexist bore of the highest order.

Legally or not.

I think you are a Russian Spy, old man...
